Blue button: 'Input echo auto thru' - what is it?

[Skyline_UK]

On one MIDI track the input echo button seems to keep turning itself on and I don't know why.  It also has a little 'A' in it to denoting 'auto thru'.  I don't seem to have a need for it.  What's it for and how can I stop it continuously appearing??

Yeah, I like to look up the help before posting even when I know the answer. It's a pretty good resource.

Many thanks all.

My PC imploded a few days ago and I had to reinstall Win10, which deletes all installed applications, so I'm painstakingly reinstalling everything, including CW and all my plugins.  In the mists of time I must have amended a load of things in Prefs.  If only I could remember what though....    ?

Slight misunderstanding possibly. After I edited my comment, I realized, we had posted the same link. Last thing I want to do is confuse someone looking for help.

Yeah I just meant like when two people say the same thing at the same time, one owes the other a beer - at least that's what he did back in the days of college....

BTW - for anyone reading this for help, I believe that button can be pretty much any color based on custom themes. Better not to list the color of a button, just in case.
